SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 734,295, dated July 21,1903. Application filed October 18, 1902. Serial 127,873. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DAVID S. BLANPIED, a

citizen of the United States, residing at N ewtonville, in the county ofMiddlesex and State ing a part thereof, in which-- I the casing 13 ismade wide enough to accom-' modate a pipe-cleaner 14,- which fits anaper-' Figure 1 is a perspective of my device. Fig. 2 isa longitudinalsection thereof. Fig. 3 is a plan of a modified form of my device.

The numeral 1 designates a casing comprisingafront 2 and back 3, havinga crimped edge or flange 4 thereon which engages the front 2. Anaperture 5 is formed inthe front 2 and a keyhole-slot -6 in the back 3.Slidingly mounted in the casing l is a. knife 7, having a diagonal edge7 thereon to adapt it to make a shearing cut. The knife 7 carries akeeper 8, which is engaged by one-end of a link 9, the other end ofwhich engages a keeper 10, mounted on a circular disk 11, pivoted to theend of the casing 1 by a keeper 12, which engages a pintlo. The keeper12 is so located that the end 1 of the casing 1 serves as a stop tolimit the movement of said disk and constrain it to assume a position atright angles to the casing 1 when turned up as far as possible.

In the modified form illustrated in Fig. 3

ture 14 therein.

In using, a cigar-tip is inserted in the aper-- can then be operated byplacing one thumb on the disk 11 to sever the tip of the cigar.

When it is desired to tamp the tobacco in a pipe, the disk 11 is turnedup at right angles to the casing 1, as shown in Fig. 2, the easing 1grasped between the thumb and forefinger 'with the thumb engaging thelink 9,

I the-disk 11 inserted in the pipe-bowl, and the tobacco tamped withoutburning the fingers. I do not wish to be limited as to details ofconstruction, as these may be modified in many particulars withoutdeparting from the spirit of my invention.

Having'thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a cigar-cutter, the combination of a casing having an aperture inone side and a slot in the other, a knife slidingly mounted in saidcasing and locatedto sever the end of a cigar inserted in said aperture,a disk pivoted to said casing, and a link pivoted to said disk and tosaid knife, substantially as described. 1 A

2. In a cigar-cutter, the combination of a casing having an apertureinone side and a keyhole-slot in the other, a knife slidingly mounted insaid casing, a keeper mounted on said knife and located to slide in saidslot, a disk pivoted to said casing and arranged to assume a positionat'right angles thereto,

and a link connected to said disk and to said keeper, 'substantially asdescribed.

3. In a cigar-cutter, the combination of a casing having an aperturetherein to accommodate the tip of a cigar, a knife slidingly mounted insaid casing and designed to cut off a tip inserted in said aperture, adisk pivoted to said casing, a rigid member pivoted at its extremes insaid disk and said knife to enable said knife to be .operatedbyactuating said disk, substantially as described.

4. In a cigar-cutter and pipe-tamp, a hollow casing designed to serve asa handle in using the device as a tamp, a circular disk to serve as apacker in tamping the tobacco within the pipe pivoted to the end of saidcasing and located to engage the end thereof when standing at rightangles to said casing, a knife slidingly mounted in said casing, and

a rigid member pivoted to said disk and said knife, substantially asdescribed;

In testimony WhGI'BOf'I have hereunto set .my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses. A
